O Lord Your Name is Excellent

Refrain O Lord your name is excellent, Is excellent, is excellent. O Lord your name is excellent I lift your name on high. Your glory fills the firmament, and Your excellence fills the earth. In heaven above, Your glory shines. Your works declare Your might. Refrain Compared to you, your enemies, Are worthless chaff, and empty bags. You still them with the strength of babes, No power can defeat you. Refrain When I behold the heavens above, The moon and stars You have made. My mind is turned to pondering, Why You give any heed to man? Refrain You made man to have dominion, Over the works of your hand. All things are under his feet of clay, But you created them all. O Lord Your name is excellent, Is excellent, is excellent. O Lord Your name is excellent, I lift Your name on high.

Thanks, Laura for your encouraging comment. I am studying the Book of Psalms and was inspired to write this poem after reading Psalm 8. It then dawned on me that these would be good lyrics for a song, so I reworked in accordingly and composed the music to go with it.

Thanks, Sara for your insightful comment. I have since reworked this poem to the lyrics for a song and composed music to go along with it. This poem was inspired by my reading and meditation on Psalm 8.
